It’s time for some religious horror, which coincides with a guest who’s new graphic novel also sees humans fighting demons - what are the odds? We are joined by comedian, writer and all-around swell guy Jordan Morris for our discussion of the insane (not) Demons 3, Dario Argento and Michele Soavi’s THE CHURCH (1989). Beyond its amazingly strange plot and set pieces (even for Italian horror standards), this film also bears the distinction of destroying the relationship between Argento and Soavi. There’s also a sick fish monster that pops out of a bowl of holy water and eats some dude’s face. Jordan’s new book YOUTH GROUP drops this month and is the perfect second half of this week’s discussion - get your holies rollin' with the monastic men of Horror Movie Night!

Oh look, another Nessie knockoff - who could have ever expected Matt would continue his reign of terror upon his cohosts with more brachiosaurus monster movies? This week, it’s the 1977 headscratcher CRATER LAKE MONSTER, replete with a total of zero day-to-night transitions and a pair of bumbling alcoholics for both comedic relief AND dramatic impact. While it may be a bit much to say this one has to be seen to be believed, it really is a singularly odd film and therefore perfect for the show. Wanna rent one of the alcoholics' boats with us?

Deep space: where you’ll see a lot of purple stuff. Also a bunch of murder. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the jock in Can’t Hardly Wait is out of his gourd on a spaceship killing people over a galaxy-destroying McGuffin, then look no further than SUPERNOVA (2000), which somehow also had James Spader, Angela Bassett and freaking Francis Ford Coppola attached to it, what? This absolute goose egg waste of $90 million has aged like milk and we’re here to make it into astronaut ice cream for you!

This week on the podcast we go back to the start of the new millenium with one of the most iconic horror franchises of the last two decades. The fact that Final Destination is such a massive series makes it all the more confusing that the person who picked it this week did so because they had never seen it and was curious about it! So hide the steak knives, beware of train trains and consider driving instead of flying because this week we're watching Final Destination!

“Why are you guys discussing The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)?”
”Why not?”
This pick definitely breaks the formula for our show, as it’s sort of a home invasion thriller and is less than a decade old, but with the new Strangers prequel is coming out this weekend, we decided it was worth taking a stab at. Thankfully, our assumptions were correct and this movie is due way more praise within the genre than it got upon release! While it starts out as your run-of-the-mill home invasion, it quickly ramps up into wild meta-slasher territory and the ride is definitely worth the price of admission. Come with us to the trailer park and get revenge on the weirdos who hacked up our aunt and uncle on this week’s episode!
